Capturing ajax requests

Question

I want to grab the ajax http w request / all its headers / cookies / post params that will be sent to save it so that I can clear it later.

I cannot find a good way to do this using firefox or chrome. Firebug truncates long columns saying: "... Firebug was reached with Firebug ......" in the middle, which doesn't help me.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

You can use fiddler . It captures all port 80 traffic between you and the server for later viewing. In it you can view all the headers, cookies, options, etc. Everything in Raw or organized forms for each request (both regular and ajax calls).

This turned out to be invaluable to me when debugging my heavy ajax web application.

Answer 2

Increase the limit in firebug, this is the extensions.firebug.netDisplayedPostBodyLimit property.

Answer 3

You can also use the Http Analyzer from IEInspector, it is a similar tool like Fiddler

Answer 4

There is a Firefox plugin that I call LiveHTTPHeaders . It captures everything you need, and not as low as Wireshark or Fiddler. Very simple and quick to use, just turn it on, run ajax request and save the data later.

Answer 5

you can use jmeter proxy for apache jmeter project

can be found the tutorial here (pdf file)

Answer 6

I like to use HTTP Fox. A plugin for Firefox that can capture all your requests. It will capture all requests, even those that are not AJAX, but it provides you with raw data for request and response.

Answer 7

Try using the HAR file format if you can. It is supported by tools such as Firebug (via NetExport ) and HttpWatch .

Answer 8

Our network uses a PAC script. Therefore, we needed to check "Use PAC Script" in "Tools" → "Fiddler Settings" → "Connections"
